Truth And LiesMature

Slowly I stretched my hand out wincing slightly as the skinstretched, sighing I looked up again at what a couple of hours ago had been abattle field. After I had fainted it seemed Ice had tended to the worst of myinjuries.

“Pup…puppet” I seemed to have difficulty forming the words. Thatwas what Ice had said my name was, it seemed familiar somehow but every time Itried to reach for any memories I can across a, with no better words todescribe it, a black wall. I peeled back the bandaged slightly intrigued to seewhat damage had been caused, from an incident that I could hardly remember,when a hand grabbed mine. I jumped and looked up to see Ice, in some ways I wasrelieved, I woke up with no past memories but at least I had someone who seemto care for me and knew me.

“Don’t you undo the work I did” Ice said tenderly, gently pullingthe bandage back into position. I frowned getting the feeling that Ice wasn’tbeing her true self; I gave myself a mental shake chiding myself for thinkingsuch negative things of the person who helped me.

“Why were you being chased?” I asked looking around at thesurrounding bodies, Ice followed my gaze and for a second her gaze seemed toget distant. I shuffled slightly, “Um…Ice?”

For a second I thought I saw a smile cross Ice’s face butthen it was gone like it was never there, “You don’t remember…” She lookedashamed, “Oh of course, I’m sorry… Pup,” Pup?A nickname? Maybe we were close… I looked at her, she was quite beautifulactually but seemed to be quite a bit older than me, I shook my head, both atthe thought and at her statement,

“Oh it’s OK, I’m just glad that you found me. H-how doyou know me?” I asked wanting to know more.

“Oh, well… I kind of saved you…” She looked away whichconfused me since I couldn’t see her face.

“You saved me? From what?”

“Not what but who. I…I well saved you from my sister,my sisters a horrid pixie who wanted you to be her dog! I couldn’t let that happen.” She pulled me into a hug. Istiffened, an unpleasant sensation running up my spine. Why was a repelled? Whydid I seem to distrust her? Ice pulled back and gave me a confused look,

“Oh yes! His name is Shadow! I’m afraid that to stop mysister from controlling you he has to share your body until we find a more… ‘effective’cure. I hope you understand.” For some reason every nerve in my body wastelling me not to trust her but I shook off the feeling.

“Sharing my body?” I blinked confused and then gasped as Ifelt another presence in me. It was like a heavy blanket had settled over myhead, Yes Puppet, we share a body I hope you allow me to stretch my legs from time to time? The voice sounded slickand menacing but I couldn’t see any reason why I shouldn’t allow someone whowas trying to protect me the freedom that I was taking from them. “Oh…ofcourse.” I murmured. It felt as if Shadow smiled, which was surreal since hewas only an essence.
